Question 1 of 5
A mother is unsure about the type of toys for her 17-month-old child. Based on knowledge of growth and development, what toy would the nurse suggest?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Increased locomotive skills make push-pull toys appropriate for the energetic toddler. Infants progress from reflex activity through simple repetitive behaviors to imitative behavior. Hand-eye coordination forms the foundation of other movements. At age 8 months, infants begin to have pincer grasp.
Toys that help infants develop the pincer grasp are recommended for this age group. Various large colored blocks are suggested toys for infants 6-12 months of age to help visual stimulation.
